About this book
A husband's name-day dinner sets the scene of the title story, in which Olga Mihalovna, the hostess, slips away to the garden and her thoughts. She is two months from the birth of a baby, uneasy at leaving her guests, and goes over the dinner argument between her husband Pyotr Dmitritch and her uncle on trial by jury, the press and university education for women. This is the fourth volume of Chekhov's tales in Constance Garnett's translation, with ten more stories including "The Kiss", "Anna on the Neck" and "The Teacher of Literature".
